And they all have universal health coverage, 6 weeks vacation pay, most have 13th month, up to a year paid maternity leave.Careful now before you start mouthing off. Do your homework. And the above were named from memory. Imagine if I had looked them up, we'd have double the names.

Okay, what is the poverty level in each of those countries?

From Wiki: How poverty in the United Kingdom is defined and measured

..........268 per week for two adults living with two children.

Which is $20,904 US per year for the Brits. But the CURRENT (2012) US poverty rate for a family of four is $23,050.I will give you another try!!!

Breaking News. Hillary will not be running for the presidency in 2016 because of a brain tumor found during her recent colonoscopy.

Old joke which I've been aiming at your buddy LRS for months now, and yesterday, you, but you didn't get it. Like Hillary Rodham Clinton or not, in your case, NOT, she is smart, intelligent and knowledgeable. You DO realise she outclasses you in ALL categories, ALL, except in helicopter flying. But you have to know, if she decided to drive one, she would outpilot you. She can do what you can do but you can't do what she does. Ass jokes about her don't change that.

Give me all the tries you want. I listed a number of coutries, all with some differences in earning and purchasing powers, but in which citizens had an almost equal, more or less, salary base and cost of living. Now, England has a lot more, as do European and other prosperous Asian nations, social benefits than their US counterparts, and that is not explained in your Wiki article.

The problem with you, Rogue , and that is based on your ignorance and false sense of superiority, is that you think the US is tops in everything. I have news for you. It ain't. Sorry, but it ain't. NO COUNTRY can claim to be the best. None. Not yours, not mine, not any other. Sure, the US is in the top 10th overall, but there are at least 9 others, if not more, that have a better standard of living. Oh, their armed forces may not be, well, they're not, as powerful as the US's, and I suppose that is what you based your criterion on, I suppose. Those 10 easily come to mind. But so what?Why do you NEED to think you're number 1? Cripes, the globe holds almost 200 countries, did you even know that?

I've said this before, the Democrats found a way to re-enslave black people. Toss them peanuts and educate them in ghetto schools so they can be good domestic servants for the Liberal Elites. "You see, I like black people. Why I even have four of them as house slaves,,, ah,, er, maids"!

"Secrtet guilt by silence is betrayed" --John Dreyden, The Hind and the Panther (1687). It takes great skill and strong nerve to tell a lie, even a lie of omission. Consequently, the guilty will often hold their tongue.

Sometimes the guilty hold their tongue as a matter of jurisprudence. In the United States, for example, the guilty have an absolute right to remain silent.

<quoted text> Obama needs more than a BC to be POTUS. He's required to have Parents who were BOTH Americans. He didn't.DQ'd.

Who told you that? It is WRONG.

The meaning of Natural Born Citizen comes from the common law and in the common law it refers to the place of birth. Every child born on US soil is a Natural Born US Citizen regardless of the citizenship of one or even two parents.

That means that both Jindal and Rubio, both of whose parents were not US citizens at the time that they were born, are Natural Born Citizens and eligible to become president.(It is not clear about Cruz, who was born in Canada and one parent was a US citizen)

The children of US citizens born abroad may also be Natural Born Citizens, or may not---it is still unclear. But the Natural Born Citizen status of a child born on US soil is unquestioned (except for the children of foreign diplomats). When the child is born in the USA, the citizenship of a parent or even two parents has nothing whatever to do with Natural Born Citizen status. Every child born on US soil—yes INCLUDING Anchor Babies—is a Natural Born Citizen because that is what Natural Born meant in the common law.

“Some birthers imagine that there is a difference between being a “citizen by birth” or a “native citizen” on the one hand and a “natural born” citizen on the other.“Eccentric” is too kind a word for this notion, which is either daft or dishonest. All three terms are identical in meaning.”—The Wall Street Journal ( http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297... )

“Every child born in the United States is a natural-born United States citizen except for the children of diplomats.”—Senator Lindsay Graham (December 11, 2008 letter to constituents)

“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.”(Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)–Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT).

“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President …”—- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005)[Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]

<quoted text>Did you go to that site? The Institute of Local Self-Reliance? You Libtards are reliant on Conservatives paying YOUR bills!Next it says, "Defending the Public Good" which means if I want your stuff, I get to take it.Tell me, in what other country can a family of four with annual income of $18,000 be remotely considered to be in poverty? Come on now, name me ONE other country???And in which country would they allow you to live in a house with a roof, real windows and doors, real floor, with heating, air conditioning, hot and cold running water, free food, acolor flat screen TV with DVD, cable vision, a computer, three free Obama phones, free health care, a car in the driveway and be considered to be poor?!?I am sick and tired of these ghetto ingrates.

Yes I did read it on the site that worked. The other two sites did not.

Why do you continue to be an apologist for the wealthy few who own most of Congress?

ACORN is about a level playing field for every American.

You and your buddy Limbaugh are against fairness for every American.

You seem to enjoy the benefits and loopholes Congress gives the wealthy few that comes out of the average American taxpayer pocket.

The over 76,000 pages in the Tax Code has the names of Exxon/Mobil, AT&T, etc, etc, etc, NOT your name Rogue or Mine.

Hummm, why are they not worried IF Zimmerman is convicted? Easy, Conservatives do not riot. Rioting is a Liberal thing. The more Liberal a person is, the more likely they are to riot and commit other crimes.Yep, like spoiled brats, if they don't get their way, they get to throw temper tantrums. How pathetic to be a Libtard!

MIAMI (AP)— Police and city leaders in Florida say they have taken precautionary steps for the possibility of mass protests or even civil unrest if George Zimmerman is acquitted in the killing of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, particularly in African-American neighborhoods where passions run strongest over the case.

For months, officials in Sanford and South Florida have been working with pastors, youth coaches, community activists and summer camp counselors to stress a non-violent approach if Zimmerman walks free. At the same time, police say they have quietly been making plans for dealing with any potential emotional flare-ups that could quickly turn into storefront-smashing, car-burning riots.

"It's all right to be vocal, but we don't want to be violent," said the Rev. Walter T. Richardson, a longtime pastor and chairman of Miami-Dade County's Community Relations Board, which has been holding town hall-style meetings about the case. "We've already lost one soul and we don't want to lose any more."

Martin, from the suburb of Miami Gardens, was 17 when he died. He was in Sanford visiting his father and father's fiancee when Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, fatally shot him during a physical confrontation in a gated community in February 2012.http://news.yahoo.com/fla-cities-guard-post-z...

Passengers aboard Asiana Airlines flight 214 were initially told not to evacuate the aircraft after it skidded to a halt in the dirt short of the runway after crash landing into the seawall in San Francisco, a federeal safety official confirmed.
